FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We kindly ask that you RSVP on our website no later than February 20th, 2026.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we adore your little ones, we've chosen to host an adults only wedding celebration. This will allow all our guests to relax, enjoy the evening, and celebrate without the usual kid-friendly constraints. We appreciate your understanding, and if you need assistance with childcare arrangements, we'd be happy to help recommend local babysitting resources. Feel free to text Kelly for help.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Our guest list has been carefully planned. If your formal invitation specifically mentions a guest or plus one, you are welcome to bring them. Not sure? Feel free to reach out to us directly.

Question

What does the Welcome Party entail?

Answer

All guests are invited to the Welcome Party on Friday night. This will serve as a chance to mingle and unwind as everyone gets in town! There will be an open bar at the Welcome Party, so we recommend making a dinner reservation with a small group somewhere on South Congress beforehand then walking over once the Welcome Party begins. There are many great dinner options on South Congress - Aba, Perla's, June's, Joann's Fine Foods, Neighborhood Sushi, Home Slice Pizza, Maie Day, and Lucky Robot to name a few!

Question

What is the dress code for the Welcome Party?

Answer

The dress code for the Welcome Party is elevated casual. Come comfy but put together. Feel free to wear a sundress, jeans, an easy button-down, or whatever you’d wear to a fun, outdoor spring party in Austin.

Question

What is the dress code for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

This event is black-tie optional and will be outdoors. Floor length, spring dresses and tuxes are welcome, but not required - suits and cocktail dresses are perfect, too. The wedding is outdoors, so florals, colors and comfortable shoes are encouraged.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Absolutely! Please note your allergy on the online RSVP, and feel free to text Kelly if you have any questions.
